http://unprofessionalcritic.blogspot.com/2011_03_01_archive.html
I watch, read and make fun of stuff so you don't have to. Monday, March 21, 2011. New Addictions: All About Aubrey. Spring has almost sprung. Thank God, because I'm so sick of tights, boots and shivering. Especially shivering. And with spring comes sunshine, change, me smirking at couples PDA's (oh hell, I do that all year).and best of all, new reality TV shows I scoff at in public but Hulu in the privacy of my apartment. Such as. All About Aubrey. As by that point I'd graduated and was making a lot of m...

The Unprofessional Critic: One Night Only: 'After Hours'
http://unprofessionalcritic.blogspot.com/2011/09/one-night-only-after-hours.html
I watch, read and make fun of stuff so you don't have to. Monday, September 19, 2011. One Night Only: 'After Hours'. One of the best things about writing is the justification of all sorts of random questions and obsessions. Basically, I can ask anyone anything with the vague excuse "it's for something I'm working on! In the past several months, I've posed these inquiries to my followers on Facebook. 1) What were you listening to in the 90's? 2) What are your favorite movies set in New York City? I Yam Wh...

I watch, read and make fun of stuff so you don't have to. Tuesday, May 31, 2011. Celebrity Almost-Encounters: Amy Poehler. Hope your Memorial Day weekend was everything you hoped it would be. So far, I have gone to IKEA with my parents. And it was really funny seeing my truck driving ex-football player dad get all excited over a little table. Also, I scored a paid blogging gig with RedEye. A supplement of the Chicago Tribune. I'm blogging about movies in my neighborhood of Lakeview. Check it out here.

The Unprofessional Critic: Back in Time: 'The Wilder Life'
http://unprofessionalcritic.blogspot.com/2011/09/back-in-time-wilder-life.html
I watch, read and make fun of stuff so you don't have to. Monday, September 26, 2011. Back in Time: 'The Wilder Life'. There's an old picture of me, my cousin and my little sister with Laura Ingalls Wilder books. I think I was seven or eight at the time. I'd share it but a) my parents moved when I was in my mid-twenties, so most childhood stuff has been relegated to basement purgatory, and b) I had a perm until I was twelve. Enough said. Books - nor would I want to. I mean, come on: calico dresses! And l...

http://unprofessionalcritic.blogspot.com/2011_07_01_archive.html
I watch, read and make fun of stuff so you don't have to. Monday, July 18, 2011. As with many things in a twentysomething's life, my introduction to Stella began with a hangover. You know those nights when you and your friend decide to get drunk because he's fighting with his boyfriend and you're not speaking to your friend-with-benefits? I've never had those nights. This is hypothetical, y'all. Um, if the above had. When it was on Comedy Central? Basically doing long-form improv. You'll love it.". Even ...

The Unprofessional Critic: Totally 80's: 'Take Me Home Tonight'

I watch, read and make fun of stuff so you don't have to. Monday, August 29, 2011. Totally 80's: 'Take Me Home Tonight'. Maybe it's because I'm now in my thirties, but in the past couple of years I've really gotten into nostalgia. Last year for a writing project, I started listening to music of the 1960's and '70's and I've never fully recovered. (Because seriously, that stuff is good. I wrote about 90's TV BFF's). According to a Doug Loves Movies podcast with the "Parks and Recreation" cast, the movie d...
